»Haematopus ostralegus - Eurasian Oystercatcher

»Huîtrier-pie

» Least Concern

» Rare paleartic visitor in Ivory Coast; this sighting could be the 14th record for the country. However the species was repeatedly seen at the same location from February to April 2013 (1 to 6 birds), from beginning of August to mid-November 2013 (1 to 2 birds); then this lone bird was seen there from 23 February to 20 April 2014. To be checked on the long-term, but the Eurasian Oystercatcher seems to be a regular visitor in small numbers at the river mouth of Vieux Lahou, at both pre- and post-nuptial migrations
